Defense Technical Information Archive

The Defense Technical Information Center (DTIC) is the premier repository for research and engineering information for the United States Department of Defense. DTIC's Suite of Services is available to DoD personnel, defense contractors, federal government personnel and contractors and selected academic institutions. The general public can access unclassified, unlimited information, including many full-text downloadable documents, through the public Web site, DTIC Online. DTIC's collections contain over 4 million documents including technical reports, research in progress and Independent Research and Development (IR&D) summaries. DTIC also publishes searchable Congressional budget data shortly after its release from Congress. DTIC acquires approximately 25,000 new documents each year. On June 4, 2004, DTIC became a DoD Field Activity under the management of the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics, reporting to the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering (ASD(R&E)). Mr. Christopher Thomas is the Administrator. DTIC's mission statement is "To provide essential, technical research, development, testing and evaluation (RDT&E) information rapidly, accurately and reliably to support our DoD customers' needs."

Three computer programs were written with the objective of predicting the structural weight of aircraft through analytical methods. The first program, the structural weight estimation program (SWEEP), is a completely integrated program including routines for airloads, loads spectra, skin temperatures, material properties, flutter stiffness requirements, fatigue life, structural sizing, and for weight estimation of each of the major aircraft structural components. This volume (volume 6) contains...

In this volume the primary intent is to uncover the objective functional relationship between import and export dependencies as they affect the reliability of supply in the past and the future. Until recently, under the aegis of American hegemony, and due to the role the oil multinationals played, both oil exporting and oil importing countries exhibited a sufficiently high degree of dependence on the trade in oil to bring about a symmetry in their reciprocal conditions. The manipulation of oil...

This paper presents a hypothetical mode of propagation of a large-amplitude disturbance involving turbulent mixing in a temperature-inverted layer. The motions are described empirically, calculating a velocity of propagation consistent with conservation of mass and momentum for a travelling disturbance of the prescribed pattern. This results in propagation velocities of the order of one knot under realistic oceanic conditions. (Author)

In this work, the results of calculations of energy levels and transition probabilities for the lanthanides in CaWO4 is reported. This material was one of the earlier laser host materials, and an abundance of experimental data are available, for comparison with our calculations on the energy levels and electric dipole transition probabilities for the triply ionized lanthanides from Pr to Tm.

A nuclear explosion in the earth's ionosphere produces a depression in the ionosphere that is approximately cylindrically symmetric. In this paper, a method is developed for calculating the change in amplitude and phase at a receiver of an ELF (extremely low frequency) radio wave in the presence of such a localized, cylindrically-symmetric disturbance. Numerical results are obtained for the particular configuration where the center of the disturbance is directly above the transmitter-receiver...

The flow velocity in an axial compressor, with a distorted inlet pressure profile or rotating stall cells, is unsteady in both magnitude and direction with the unsteadiness in direction having a more abrupt effect on airfoil performance. The objective of this research was to obtain pressure distributions and pressure histories on both surfaces on an airfoil in a cascade while its is undergoing a sinusoidal variation in angle of attack.
